2016 Paralympic Rower Augustas Navickas approached me with this idea of creating an Association of disabled athletes. The idea was to create a platform in my hometown to train new Paralympic athletes and give more people with disabilities the opportunity to train in sports. Here in Lithuania disabilities are still a tabu. No one wants to talk about it, there is a huge discomfort interacting with people with disabilities and so on. I was really excited to work with such a great, motivated and positive team, it truly inspired me to ‘move’ more.
